Bulk Edits

Is there anyway to bulk edit products or catagory in other fields than what is possible now?  For example, I am trying to go into the database and "unpublish" almost  every item except  for computer ralated  items and the items  we are putting up for testing.

I have to go into each catagory and product  and unpublish it.  It  sure would  be  nice to do this in a spread  sheet format and  get them all at once.

oops   I see the Unpublish bulk edit is there, but the second part of the question still applies.

the bulk edit unpublishes product variants, not the product itself

if you want a quick way, you could try unpublishing everything with SQL and then manually re publish the few you want
